There's really no win win situation here, it's all about mitigating as best as possible. From what I'm hearing though there's a good shot 2021 isn't happening either, at least not in April. Obviously a lot can change in between though and hopefully it will.
I agree, there is no perfect scenario. I think doing 2020 virtually and allowing those that qualified for 2020 to try for 2021 make sense. I'm glad they are doing refunds if you don't want to do the virtual race.
It will give everyone peace of mind when they update the qualification times for 2021. I feel bad for people with a bubble time, because I know how hard they worked. But we are all just speculating right now, who knows what they'll do for the qualification times.
I was 7 min under, but I'll be in the next age bracket for 2021, so I guess for those of us getting bumped up an age bracket, there is a small consolation if they do lower the time qualifications as we will have even more of a cushion. And yeah, we'll see about 2021 anyways. I'm staying hopeful and will keep on running.
